ARLINGTON, NYC, US ALBUM RELEASE etc

Monday - 27/06/2011 - 16:53

Well it's about that time again eh? Time I reached out across the internet to let each and every one of you know just how much I care... 'cause y'know sometimes I just get so damn busy and I let things get all on top of me and you and me end up a'fussin'an'a'fightin' 'cause I forget to tell you just how special you are... well not today... this 'blog' is especially for you. And you only. Each and every one of (only) you.... only...

On Monday night I will return in solo acoustic mode for a headlining set at the wonderful IOTA club in Arlington, VA. I played down there with the band last month which was a great time and I'm looking forward to getting back there and I would certainly love you to come down to the show if you're not working late.. at the Pentagon. Or something. There's nothing on TV on Monday night anyway. Is there?...

And whilst in DC I'll also be chatting and playing a few songs live on Voice of America on Monday. And probably going to the Smithsonian all afternoon before the show. Uh-huh. And probably wondering what the Voice of America would sound like if it was y'know... a voice. James Earl Jones? Morgan Freeman? Jeff Bridges? Bobcat Goldthwaite? Wow, there's a blast from the past. What dimly-lit corner of my brain was he hiding in?!... Anyway. Come to the show on Monday night. Because you're special. Or something.

And then - My album Everything is True gets it's official US release on Tuesday June 28 thru Missing Piece! There will be an official parade down 5th avenue and fireworks over the Brooklyn Bridge and every Mr Softee van in the city will play the album on repeat all day long instead of that other song... actually there will just be an album launch show at Pianos on July 7th. Just come along to that instead.And then then then then then... well, have a look below... and thanks.

NEW YORK IN JUNE

Tuesday - 15/06/2010 - 03:27

New York in June...and what's not to like?... The days and nights are warm, there's an early-summer electricity in the overcast sky that simply won't allow you to stay indoors, you have to get outside and walk around all day and all night and just witness it.. minor, every-day events becoming major spectacles... I've crammed an enormous amount into my first week here.. Mostly just running around making sure everything is where I left it - I'm going to have to impose some routine on myself... soon... Had a great show at the Rockwood Music Hall last Tuesday and I'm looking forward to getting back there again on Tuesday 22nd... Meanwhile I'm going to run along and see our friends Kashmir play at the Bowery Ballroom tomorrow night aaaaannnndd... I just started reading my favourite book again... Which is nice.Alright then.

Coming soon...
